BotBrew Basil
Debian package management
Botbrew Basil is a frontend application which allows to install
Debian in a
chroot on your Android device, and manage
installed packages and running services via comfortable UI.
Botbrew release "Basil" uses dpkg, unlike previous release Botbrew "Anise" (not
available as open-source) which used opkg.
It uses official Debian and Emdebian package repositories, though some bootstrap
and support packages are downloaded from botbrew.com.
Before deleting the Botbrew bootstrap directory, open the control/preferences
window and tap 'exit' to make sure everything has been unmounted properly.
Status: Experimental
Requires root: Yes
